Am in Philadelphia today to pick up T.J. at the airport and head to The Meadowlands, where we will film “Eye on Harness Racing” (today), conduct some interviews (tomorrow) and cover the Hambo with my great Comm team (Saturday). It’s rainy in Philly today, and since my family has Yankees-Red Sox tickets tonight, I hope it’s just morning showers. It was enough to delay T.J. for a half-hour (so far).
The post draw and press conference were interesting, of course, and there are so many great stories in this field, I can’t wait to start writing. What, however, are the chances of the wonderful Ackerman family getting the 10 hole again for the Hambo. The fates are cruel sometimes.
This has been a week of reunions for me—the Kraft family in Maryland had a Sunday reunion; I spent some time in Washington D.C. with two wonderful old friends; last night I had dinner with my 92-year-old grandmother. Sand now I begin the annual Hambo reunion with my harness racing family. Sharing good times—it’s what life is all about!
More later!
